At 6-foot-4 and 291 pounds Bryan is similar in size to Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who measured in at 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine and later was selected No. 11 overall by Houston. From a measurement standpoint, Watt has longer arms, 34 inches to Bryan’s 32 ¾ inches and possesses much bigger hands with his 11 1/8 inches to Bryan’s 9¾i-inch hands.

From the testing, the similarities are there as well. Bryan posted a 4.98 40-yard dash, while Watt ran a time of 4.91 seconds. In the 10-yard split the former Gator racked up a 1.68-second time, which beats the former Badger, who had a 1.71 second time. Bryan’s jumps trailed Watt’s slightly as the 21-year old posted a 35-inch vertical and 119-inch broad jump, while the 28-year old tallied up a whopping 37-inch vertical and 120-inch broad jump in 2011.

Just like Watt, the Wyoming native possesses the physical tools to succeed at the next level. Bryan is disruptive enough to stop the run, strong enough to take on double-teams, long enough to close down passing lanes and knock down passes and fast enough to track down running backs and tight ends in space.

As draft day approaches, the versatile defensive tackle should be on the Bolts’ radar with Brandon Mebane aging and showing signs of regression, as well as the number of question marks surrounding defensive lineman Corey Liuget’s contract.

Bryan currently projects as a Day 2 prospect, but his stock might be on the rise after the show that he put on Sunday in Indianapolis. Bryan started all 11 games, recorded 40 total tackles (17 solo), six tackles for loss, four sacks and three quarterback hurries. Here is Chargers Wire’s NFL draft profile on the former Florida disruptive DT.

One of the most important factors to being a good defensive lineman at the NFL level is having the quickness and athleticism to beat offensive linemen off of the snap. Former Florida DT Taven Bryan possesses those attributes, which should make him an attractive target for the Chargers in the upcoming 2018 NFL draft.

At 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds, Bryan’s natural strength is a problem for offensive linemen as he can naturally be an anchor at the point of attack and is rarely pushed back. The former Florida Gator fires off the ball very well, and with his frame, he finds himself easing through blockers and is a very powerful tackler. His run defense and pass-rushing skills tie up defenders commonly, allowing the rest of the front seven to roam free and create havoc.

Adding interior defensive line talent is inevitable this offseason for Los Angeles given the struggles of DT Brandon Mebane one season ago, and Bryan would blend well with the speed and versatility of Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram to form a destructive force up front on the defensive line.

Through his junior year at Florida, the former Gator started all 11 games, recorded 40 total tackles (17 solo), six tackles for loss, four sacks and three quarterback hurries. His four sacks were tied for the second most on the team in 2017.
